Oakwood's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Brick Smasher]

It's nice. But no more than that.

Like the others said, it's a new type of gameplay, which I like. But there were some things that made it less fun for me.
- The Mega Ball power-up lasts WAY too long and pops up too many times, which makes this game too easy.
- The were only two upgrades, and they were both 'positive' (the real Arkanoid also contains bad power-ups, like a shrinking paddle)
- Once my paddle became large, it didn't shrink (which, again, makes it too easy)
- I never lost any lives (and I really got hit by bricks sometimes)
- The game is pretty cpu-intensive
- I couldn't see my cursor, which went off-screen sometimes. You should either make it visible or change the controls.
- There are no highscores.
- There are no levels or new challenges.

I still liked the game, the music was nice and it had some nice graphics. If you'd add all the above listed, this could make it.

Needs improvement...LOTS!

I actually DID reach 6000 (with 2 lives, however). I... didn't enjoy it, I just kept on playing to prove you wrong. First of all, there was no 'little loop thingy' you said there would be, which disappointed me, because this game needs music. The sounds got annoying after a while too (and yes, I know there's a mute button). And overall, it's too easy and should contain highscores, because now we're just playing for nothing. And do something about the colors, my eyes burned.
And there's more: try to find an alternative for the triangles, they just won't react with the second click sometimes. Add some upgrades, levels and stuff. Change the textfont, it's barely readable. AND, if this game is in AS3 (since it's, according to Tom, not possible in AS2), add a pause button, I almost pissed my pants.

Lots of work to do, pal. But look at the bright side: what I DIDN'T say were good things. :)

clipmaster3 responds:

All of your criticism is basically spot-on with what I've heard from some friends. Yes, it does need improvement =P, then again, this was a quick project just to get something out there... (first finished game ever. I suck at finishing projects). Next game will be something I spend more time time on.
Thanks for the feedback

[Pill Cannon]

Mmmm...

I like the concept, it's original, and the graphics are simple but nice. The only thing, however, is that the gampe is too easy.

KingDotCom responds:

Thanks for the review. Try out "Survival"-mode if you want more of a challenge!

[Astro Motocross]

Ouch

Very bad physics, man. It takes hours to get up when you fall, instructions are not clear, there's no clear target in the game and it's almost impossible to score points. Steering is also a thing that should be improved.

[Xmas Champion]

Not bad

I got 29, including one present. Good music choice an pretty nice graphics, I find it to be a bit.... hard, though (YEAH, go laugh at me!).

[Sinterklaas]

Lolz...

I remember this game very well... In fact, I think it's still somewhere on my computer.

(Yes, I'm Dutch :P)

[Inculcation]

Well...

I'm no sissy, but you sometimes scared the crap out of me, especially in the hallway of the appartement. Cool game I must say, but the 'enemies' could be drawn better.

[Pepe Pillz 2]

Not bad

It was funny (I liked the "Hop-peedoo!" and stuff, but I didn't like listening to the annoying "It's time to take your pills, Mr. Herbert!" every time I failed the stage. The physics weren't to great either (I mean the hittest with that)

[Youda Legend Amsterdam]

Outstanding!

I'm Dutch, but I'm still gonna write this review in English for whoever cares xD
This was truly an awesome peace of work. Excellent quality, especially the pictures and the 3D animation, and a wonderfull story. Only too bad I have to go premium to play the whole thing but, who knows...
Tjis is also the first time I can play a hidden object game without using a dictionary! :D

Awesome game, 5/5, 10/10, faved!

[Quest For Treasure]

I was expecting better.

There are some points where I think: You should have worked on this.
- In the menu: when I press 'How to play' I can barely read the text because the title makes the invisible.
- When climbing a ladder, you're just floating up, not animated (when going down too).
- When hit by an enemy, there's nothing that happens to the character, except for the health bar going down.
- Above all, the game is VERY unoriginal and doesn't stand much chance (in my opinion).

What I want too say, is that, whether how hard you worked on this, you forgot to fix the small things that make the game less good and that keep me from enjoying this.
I wanted to give a 7.5, but since it's not possible, a 7.
